It consists of a tomb , an ivan on the north side and another ivan on the west side, which extends to a large courtyard . Personalities such as the daughter of Amir Kabir and the sister of Naser ad-Din Shah were buried there. The Imamzade himself was probably the tomb of the son of Soltan Ali ebn-e-Mohammad, who was buriedin Mashhad-e-Ardehal .
The oldest part of the building is a 3 m long white stone that lies under a reticulated wooden window facing the alley . It is said to be part of the Somnath Stone. Jaberi Ansari wrote of the Somnath Stone in the book History of Isfahan and Rej :
- Mahmud of Ghazni brought a stone as a souvenir from Somnath in India . It is said to have been part of the most important idol in that land. The stone was moved to Isfahan and cut in half a century later. One half was made into a stone trough for the Wasir Tahmasb school and the other half was dragged with chains on the earth to show the humiliation of the idol and then it was brought to Imamzade Ahmad.
The Imamzade Ahmad was built in the Seljuk era, but the current structure belongs to the Safavid era. The ceiling of the mausoleum is covered with muqarnas . To the tomb around a gilded describes Nastaliq - inscription under Sell os-Soltan made repairs and changes.
In contrast to the few decorations on the tomb of the Imamzades, the tombs of the daughter of Amir Kabir and the sister and wife of Nāser ad-Dīn Shāh were completely decorated with stucco , painting and mirror art .
